Here's another drawing I did of British TV presenter and soon to be American TV presenter Alexa Chung. I think she's going to do well here as long as MTV lets her keep her whacky personality and doesn't try to change her.

Another current TV show I like a lot is "Breaking Bad." It has good writing and solid acting. Things actually happen to the characters and they don't necessarily go back to how they were when the episode begins like almost all of boring network TV. It doesn't go on formula. Here is a drawing one of the actresses on the show Krysten Ritter.

I saw an advance screening of "Land of the Lost" (written by Chris Henchy & Dennis McNicholas and directed by Brad Silberling) tonight. As a kid, I was aware of the show, but never watched it because if I was watching TV on Saturday morning it's going to be cartoons and not cheap live-action stuff. The movie which stars Will Ferrell, Danny McBride and Anna Friel is hilarious and adventurous.

Ferrell play a scientist with a crazy time warp theory who is made into a laughingstock by the evil TV news reader Matt Lauer. A young Cambridge educated scientist played by Anna Friel convinces Ferrell's character that his theory isn't whacked and he finishes his dimensional machine. They go to a cave (lead by tour guide Danny McBride) where the tachyon readings are strong and end up in another dimension where there are dinosaurs, lizard men, and monkey men.

I think this movie is aimed at kids, but there are a bunch of funny sex jokes that will go over their heads. I say this as a compliment, no one in film or TV plays a redneck jerk better than Danny McBride. It's a fun movie and worth watching.
